Les Boucaniers

A relative newcomer on the Lausanne bar scene, this smart pub is a welcome addition to the clutch of drinking holes around Place Benjamin Constant, and it’s a classy affair. A small outside terrace leads into a stylish interior – all muted colours and dark wood furniture – where you can partake of an artisan beer from a vast range of local and international tipples. While at first glance the menu of burgers, salads and tapas seems nothing special, the globally-inspired burgers (from Japanese tuna to Thai chicken and French foie gras and duck) are original and sophisticated. They even theme special burgers around live sports games, shown on screens in the bar.
